this is a good question and previously i would have thought what youre saying made sense-but having read mike mentzer books and brawn its not only local muscular fatigue we need to recoevr from but central nervous system fatigue-as weight training (hard and heavy) is very stressfull on the body ,so a complete rest with no training is best for systemic recovery/recuperation and hopefully -overcompensation i.e growth/strength increase
less is more, quality not quantity is what counts,difficult to implement for most due to youth and enthusiasm
